     abstract = "{The Tibetan Plateau (TP) has been observed by satellite optical remote
        sensing, altimetry, and gravimetry for a variety of geophysical
        parameters, including water storage change. However, each of
        these sensors has its respective limitation in the parameters
        observed, accuracy and spatial-temporal resolution. Here, we
        utilized an integrated approach to combine remote sensing
        imagery, digital elevation model, and satellite radar and laser
        altimetry data, to quantify freshwater storage change in a twin
        lake system named Chibuzhang Co and Dorsoidong Co in the central
        TP, and compared that with independent observations including
        mass changes from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment
        (GRACE) data. Our results show that this twin lake, located
        within the Tanggula glacier system, remained almost steady
        during 1973-2000. However, Dorsoidong Co has experienced a
        significant lake level rise since 2000, especially during
        2000-2005, that resulted in the plausible connection between the
        two lakes. The contemporary increasing lake level signal at a
        rate of 0.89 {\ensuremath{\pm}} 0.05
        cm{\textperiodcentered}yr$^{-1}$, in a 2{\textdegree} by
        2{\textdegree} grid equivalent water height since 2002, is
        higher than the GRACE observed trend at 0.41 {\ensuremath{\pm}}
        0.17 cm{\textperiodcentered}yr$^{-1}$ during the same time span.
        Finally, a down-turning trend or inter-annual variability shown
        in the GRACE signal is observed after 2012, while the lake level
        is still rising at a consistent rate.}",
